Challenges

Laurids was looking for an independent and responsible developer to pick up most of the mobile app development duties.

But there are some challenges:

The current developer is almost not available anymore
A lot of developers were working on it before
App in production for 5 years
Big project code base

Solutions

We assigned an experienced React-Native developer.
For particular technical challenges, we provided the client with additional short-term experts as well. In addition to mobile app development, our developer helped with the backend.

Results

During the year, the user base has grown by 1’000’000+ users. Also, our developer helped reduce service usage costs by optimizing app efficiency.

Our developer built new high-performance and scalable features, among them:

Implementing newer and more efficient approaches in in-app purchases and advertisements
Created custom rich text editor with custom emojis and gifs
Created complicated animations

Optimized different performance issues:

Solved performance issues that caused app hangings and crashes
Created custom rich text editor with custom emojis and gifs
Optimized performance of video & image collections

Before

After

Along the way, performed several major React-Native platform updates, maintained the app stability, and reacted to users' feedback tickets.

Process

The client wanted to manage developers directly to fit the current development team seamlessly. Our account manager regularly communicated with developers & the client to make sure everything went to plan.

Our developers were communicating with the rest of the team daily on Slack. Most of the communication was asynchronous. They were capturing Loom videos to show demos quickly.

ProductCrafters always found a way to implement what we wanted. Everyone there is impressively dedicated to delivering a perfect solution. Their dedication is unmatched.
